    I understand why they would publicly deny this, but they kinda have a strong (?) interest into investigating behind the scenes

      Agreed.

      It’s a good article, and I am glad for the pressure the international community applies to Ukraine to maintain high standards instead of letting them slip. We call it the straight and narrow because it’s pretty damn straight and narrow. Not easy to stay on it, and nothing wrong with a little help.

        I think Ukraine understand this, but it’s difficult in times of war to take criticism because morale is the most precious resource you have. If they want to join NATO and the EU after the war though, these are the things they are going to have to accept.
